YOU DESERVE

They say the older you get and still waiting for "the one," the shorter your "must have list" gets. And before long your "must have list" just has: "Please Lord, just let him have all his teeth". So as the years were rolling up and I was still waiting for "the one," instead of a "must have list," I made the "I deserve list." I decided the next time I was in a relationship worth investing my time in, I would be vocal on how I feel about me and what I believe I deserve in a relationship. Needless to say, having been in some not so good relationships most of us know what we deserve. You know from the last relationship when he did not call when he said he would, you deserved consideration and consistency. Somehow you knew when he was thirty minutes late from picking you up and the last time he called was thirty-five minutes ago to say he was on his way, you deserved a heart felt apology. And you knew when you charged that new outfit on the credit card you could not afford just to look good for him, you deserved head to toe compliments. After all is said and done, the heart of the matter is you deserve his respect and acceptance equally immense. You deserve flowers for no reason at all.  And last but not least, more importantly you deserve to know he loves you to no bounds. My list is done; is yours?
